  • Recommend for anyone looking for a Lathe
Style: Variable Speed Wood Lathe
Hello! My new favorite hobby would not be possible without this amazing tool. I love this Lathe, but it is the only one Ive ever owned, so take that lightly. It is wonderful for beginners because it has enough power to do almost anything I want/am capable of doing yet not enough to completely destroy me if I make an error. I don't know if I'd call it a beginner lathe or not, but I don't care. I love this tool. The centering was right on point. Everything fired up without any problem. It is also very heavy, so it doesn't get thrown around much. The speed changeover for belting up and down is a GOD SEND. I wish more of my older tools used this ratcheting system because it is soooo nice. Simply press, lift, change, and press again. Click, click, click and you are ready to roll. Amazing. The rests are pretty nice and everything on the tool can be tightened down nicely. The only issue I had was that the slide would occasionally catch when I was backing it off but it was an easy fix. Overall finish is very nice. My only complaint is that it occasionally reads the wrong RPMs on the digital readout. Its documented that this is caused by low voltage, but it changes on the ON/OFF cycle, sometimes within a few seconds. It's never random-for example, it will either read 1900 or 3600 at max, never anything else. My power where I am is pretty dicey as far as voltage is concerned, so I am assuming that is the problem, but it's pretty annoying to not have a believable readout on RPMs. It also fails slow, not fast, which can be dangerous at low speeds with Cole Jaws. Luckily, I'm aware of the issue so I plan for it. This issue and that the speed knob is a little lower quality than I would like are my only issues. The whole machine is so awesome that it makes me a little sad that they cheaped out on the controls. Again, the RPM issue may be my fault. I have checked my voltage before though, and it reads fine. Given all that, I absolutely love this tool and am planning on having it for a long time. ... show more

  • Great lathe for beginners and intermediates doingprojects
Style: Variable Speed Wood Lathe
Jet made a great quality lathe. Was a little nervous ordering this through Amazon, and though it did arrive with what looked like a kicked in hole in the box, the lathe itself was unharmed. This thing is surprisingly quite. Variable speed on the fly is very convenient. The stock spur, plate and live end work great, lined up perfect. Very strong tool guide, and came with two sizes, but could use a larger one. Also a smoother edge on the tool guide would of been great too. My experience with this machine so far has been simple and smooth. Took it out of the box. Put it on a folding table I happen to have in the garage, changed the belt speed. Dropped a piece of fire wood into it, and started turning. It was simple to figure out. If anything changes, I will update. As of right now. Very happy with this buy and very excited to continue turning. ... show more

  • First Lathe… Well Worth It!
Style: Variable Speed Wood Lathe
I spent a few months really researching the lathe that I wanted to get as my first lathe. I had heard that this one was really good and worth the money. I knew it wasn’t the most expensive nor was of the cheapest. Thankfully, I got to enroll in a little Woodturning class at a tech school near me, and I got to use this lathe. Y’all, I kid you not when I say that this machine is incredibly easy to use, user-friendly, runs like a champion, and I just fell in love I won hundred percent recommend this lathe to any who are looking for their first, or to anyone who is wanting to upgrade from a cheaper lathe. ... show more

  • High quality lathe, excellent customer service
Style: Variable Speed Wood Lathe
Just started wood turning. High-quality lathe in terms of all metal components, drive system, and stand. Easy to set up and and use. Variable speed is excellent. Super easy to change belt drive speeds. However, plastic on/off switch housing cracked. Still works but made it more difficult to turn on and off. Called Jet customer service. They were very helpful and express shipped a new switch housing. Should not be difficult to replace. Sometimes small plastic parts crack, and I can’t blame Jet for this. Very happy thus far. Update: 18 months later. Changed review from 4 stars to 5 stars. New switch was sent immediately after contact with customer service. Easily swapped out. No problems whatsoever since. It’s really a great tool with a modest price and footprint. So far very happy with every Jet product purchased to date. ... show more
